Slamming down 14.5 pints of vanilla ice cream in a mere six minutes wasn't enough for competitive eater Joey Chestnut to secure first place in Sunday's World Ice Cream Eating Championship at the Indiana State Fair.

Winner Geoff Esper, from Massachusetts, downed 15.5 pints in the time allotted.

Esper is still fairly unknown, according to his profile on Major League Eating's website, but first made a name for himself in 2015, when he ate 30 hot dogs (with buns) in 10 minutes for the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

He entered the second annual World Ice Cream Eating Championship on Sunday ranked No. 4.

Chestnut, who took second place Sunday, is an 11-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion. He became well-known locally after dominating the 2014 St. Elmo Shrimps Eating Competition, downing 10.42 pounds of shrimp in eight minutes to set a then-world record. He won it again in 2016 by wolfing down 15 pounds of shrimp. And again in 2017, eating 10 pounds and 6 ounces.
